Malta imposes 14 day quarantine on all arrivals
Malta has announced that all new passengers, including British nationals, arriving by air or by sea, must undertake a 14-day continuous period of mandatory quarantine during their stay on Malta, Gozo or Comino.
Malta’s Prime Minister, Dr Robert Abela said the measure was taken to contain the spread of the coronavirus covid-19 pandemic
Self-quarantine for travellers means that they cannot leave their hotel room, cruise ship or self-catering accommodation during their time on the islands.
For those travellers who are arriving in Malta today, Friday March 13 and staying less than 14 days are free to travel back on their return ticket subject to them not developing any covid-19 symptoms while under self-quarantine.
Trade partners of Malta Tourism Authority UK are asked to contact the team for advice, guidance and information to ensure that all British nationals on island or are due to imminently fly to Malta are provided the latest information.
Trade Partners can contact [email protected] or Malta Tourism Authority UK on +44 (0) 20 8877 6991. DMC partners in Malta are also available for trade partners to liaise with and arrange the necessary changes required for business.
If self-quarantine is breached there is a fine of €1,000 per breach.
The decision by Malta’s government will remain in force until further notice.
Malta is offering assistance to travellers who are in quarantine on island and have set up a helpline on +356 21 411 411. Food service delivery will be available to those who in quarantine.
Additional trade information will be made available via the Visit Malta UK Trade Facebook group.
